Well we had A LOT, and I mean A LOT of Good ideas for Halloween this year. We had so many that it was hard to pick just one. The problem wasn't as much picking an idea it was starting on an idea. To make things worse I had the most busy week of my college career and the next thing you know our time had past. Probably our best idea was the one we ended up choosing, and the main thing is we didn't have to buy anything

We are HUGE BYU FANS!!!!

We get free shirts every now and then and they are always XL+ we had a lot of fun getting ready for this picture. We didn't wear this in public this is just for your viewing pleasure. Speaking of which I hope you enjoy the videos. We had fun making them

An Oregonian Halloween

The star of the night.

Sure are grateful for the fun Cornwall family traditions.

Birthday Recap

Paisley had a fun birthday yesterday. Thanks for the cards, presents and phone calls everyone! We had to open presents in increments because there were sooo many, and because Daddy was only home for so long during the day, plus yesterday was our ward Halloween party so we didn't have much time after work. At lunch we opened a few that she loved! Then we had dinner and went to the ward Halloween party where we were the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2. It was fun. We had a clean sweep in the costume contest. Paisley won most original, and we won for the adults. Our car also took runner up for Trunk or treating (but we unfortunately didn't get a picture of that.) Then we came home and opened a few more presents. Then today we still had a few more to open so we finished off the present opening at lunch time. Paisley loved all of her new clothes and toys, but still insists on remaining 2. She is our cute big girl!

Per Jeff's request I have documented what we have been over the years for Halloween. I have made them separate posts so that you can comment on each year. Sorry to push our cute Cat in the Hat down !!!

Pumpkin Carving

Last night we carved our pumpkin. We drew out a couple variations but decided to go with one that match the eyes on our trees. We thought he looked cute looking sideways, and Jason had a ton of fun carving him up. It was a very exciting FHE and Paisley really liked staying up past her bedtime to help.

But Grandmother, What Big Halloween Traditions You Have...

"All the better to have a lot of fun with"....

Beautiful Autumn!

I never realized how much I was absolutely enamored by Autumn until I was fully exposed to deciduous trees. They are lovely.

I will be walking on campus and feel compelled to just stop and soak in how gorgeous everything looks.

I will admit that I am particularly in love with the Maeser building. It is the honors headquarters, and is a small building that I simply adore.

There are a fair bit of leaves all over. Plenty to crunch on the way to class.

The colors are awe-inspiring. Now granted I did edit these and there has been a wee bit of "enhancement," but nonetheless, you can't enhance something that was never there!

Although I miss the warmer Autumns of California, I am trying to appreciate every turning leaf that I can.
